La Vie Claire ~ The Clear Life ~This is one of my favorite magazines. I have every single issue ever published! It is such a beautiful magazine. It's just so Nantucket/Martha's Vineyard and you know how I'm obsessed with those wonderful places! Below are some of the images from the magazine taken from their website. Click here to see more about the magazine.
I've loved Claire Murray's things for a long time. I visited her shop when I was on vacation in Martha's Vineyard last summer. It was FILLED with her rugs. They are so beautiful you hate to walk on them. This one with the nest below is one of my favorites! Click here to visit her website and see more of her beautiful rugs. 
She even sells kits (needlepoint, counted cross stitch and rug hooking.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Oh, I love La Vie Claire, too! I haven't got them all, but I always save the ones I do get. As for Claire Murray, can you imagine being able to make such beautiful things? Actually, you probably can because you're so talented!

Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI see why you like that magazine so much. Really nice. Wouldn't it be great to have a cottage in one of those places?

One of my fav magazines too. When I lived in Naples, Fl, she used to have a store on 3rd St. You could buy her hooked rugs and rug kits. They are beautiful in person!

I have seen the magazine but never looked inside. I though it was all about beauty and that kinda of thing ( I buy Moore for over 40 )I will have to buy one now it looks like a great magazine.
ReplyDeleteThank-you for sharing
I love Claire Murray - I have a set of the cutest chair pads from her. I haven't heard of the magazine, so I am headed to check it out.

I love the La Vie Claire Magazine too & one of my greatest garage sale "finds" was a Claire Murray runner 'English Garden' :-}
ReplyDeleteThe thrill of the hunt...have to find this periodical...maybe Borders????
ReplyDeleteI see I am not the only one in the dark~~
That is one of my most favorite magazines as far as presentation! They have the most gorgeous, frame-worthy pictures. I love laying them on the coffee table for display - they're just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think one of the first times I ever saw it was in Barnes & Noble. Doesn't seem like you can find them just anywhere.
Hi Cindy~ I saw this magazine this simmer in the store and was drawn to it because of that cover picture, it's gorgeous. I didn't know who Claire Murray was though, I'll have to look into her more.
ReplyDeleteBeing a New Englander I love the Cape as well.
*muah*

WOW! I have never seen this mag before! Thanks...I just signed up to receive it! A bit pricey BUT I love the content and lovely photos! I can't wait to get first copy!
ReplyDeleteI just love the America houses. Have always done and will probably always do LOL. There's a special style on your houses, especially the old ones.
ReplyDeleteI also loved to picture of the fence with the flowers. Wish I could have it like that, but there aren't any fence around our house, but we have a hedge now and that's nice too.
Have a great week.
Love Elzie
Thanks for the great link, Cindy! I am always thrilled to visit new needlework sources. I've admired her rugs for years, too.
ReplyDeleteI love this magazine as well. The photography and quotes are amazing. I really should subscribe.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of the magazine, but thank you for sharing such lovely photos on this dark and dreary fall day. I might have to subscribe!
ReplyDeleteHello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!
